I've just unsubscribed them and banned them from the list.

Please bear in mind that Rob and I have jobs, families, university courses,
etc., in real life, and we can't eavesdrop on the list all day

I also volunteer for garbage control. Basically, I
suggest you just give somebody the power to
unsubscribe anybody that sends out such messages. I
really doubt we can filter out the yo-yos that want to
do this, but a garbage moderator can make sure that
anyone who does it once will not do so again. I think
with these lists that's about the best we're going to
get. If you are worried about a moderator abusing
their power just have them post everytime they remove
someone with the exact reason why. That should
decrease at least on the number of repeating spam
posts.

But the cunning technique of removing spammers still exists and open to the
moderators to use.

I think said person has earned the right to the highly polished boot from
the list :-)
